Honestly, I found that I was almost always carrying an excess of crafting resources, and would frequently dump them if I had multiple stacks. Also, if you look in the inventory in-depth, you'll find a lot of stuff is basically only good for selling to merchants, which the game wouldn't tell you otherwise, so you have to remember to go back periodically and sell that shit. Once I realised that, being able to afford outfits and new weapons got SO MUCH EASIER OH MY GOD. I only have resources I need for arrows because I keep slotting 3 at a time. I've sold everything else and I still don't have any room. But I already have all the outfits and weapons except the lodge weapons. ... Hang on, are you holding on to weaker versions of weapons and outfits? |

... Hang on, are you holding on to weaker versions of weapons and outfits? Only the Stealth outfit. But I don't have problems with the weapons and outfit capacity. Just the crafting resources and purple mods. I guess it doesn't matter since they're all in separate "pouches", anyway. The only reason I ever ran out of space is because I didn't realise how little I actually needed, and once I did, I was able to free up a lot, but it sounds like you're playing very differently to me.  |

How so? Did you do a survivalist playthrough? I like to be well-equipped and well-stocked. It's the only way to roll. Well, I could never make the multiple arrows thing work for me, so I didn't do that, lol. It's just that whenever I found my pack was getting full, I would look and find shit I didn't need. Mostly lenses and hearts, which are valuable and basically useless except to exchange for specific stuff. You should know that I was playing on easy mode, lol, but I made use of nearly all the different weapons and ammo, at one point or another. It took me a long time to realise that freezing a machine makes it extra vulnerable to all types of damage, but once I did, I used that technique a lot. For smaller machines, I would use the Tearblaster/tearblast arrows to rip off armor/components, then I would knock them down and move in with the spear. For the big cat-themed ones, tripwires were usually the way to go. For bellowbacks and behemoths, spam ropecaster until they're brought down, then rip into their weak points with the rattler. If something had a heavy weapon that I could utilise, I would knock it off with a tearblast arrow and then run in and grab it. That technique let me finish off a lot of big ones very quickly. |

I don't even pick up the hearts and lenses anymore. And I find myself using the ropecaster and tripcaster only when I have no other alternative. This is obviously something I'm doing wrong because they're useful but it's much more fun to put fire mods on your bow and just use triple fire arrows. I save the tearblast arrows for much bigger machines. That shit is expensive. And I'm on hard so I am terrified of running out of ammo. It happened once with a bellowback and I got fried. I'm still sore about that. Bellowbacks are assholes. And Stormbirds. And those little birds are the WORST! The glinthawks? Well, again, I was playing on easy, but when I hit them with a fire arrow, they would usually flop to the ground, and I could move in with a spear kill. I used the spear a lot, come to think of it. Especially against small shit. Like watchers? Come on, they aren't worth an arrow. |

If I'm up against something I can't kill with one silent strike than I do what I can to get it on the ground so I can us a critical hit on it. |

I'm currently playing through Dragon Age: Inquisition again. I played for about sixty hours before taking a two month break for Mass Effect Andromeda's release. I feel really conflicted. There are some points where I am having fun...but also times where I look at the map and remember there is still so much (fetch questing) to do. I want to complete everything...but I am also very tempted to just do the DLC and finish the game. Jaws Of Hakkon, The Descent, and Trespasser were some of the highlights of Inquisition for me. I've been feeling pretty nostalgic for Dragon Age Origins though, and it is tempting to play through it again. I feel like I need to go back to my roots and play through it as a Dalish elf again. I will be finishing a couple of my unfinished playthroughs of DA:I and starting another one soon. I'm in the middle of my completionist run so once I've done that, my new playthrough will just be the stuff I enjoy or think is worth doing, which will cut down on the fetch quests. I still haven't played Trespasser yet. I'm in such a mood to play DA2 though. I've been playing a lot of open world games recently so I'm really in the mood for a more linear experience, Prey didn't really scratch that itch for me. Each time I think about starting it though I just think of my backlog. Still, haven't finished, FF15, World of Final Fantasy, Fallout 4, Horizon: Zero Dawn, a couple of DA:I runs, my second MEA playthrough and I'd like to do a second Witcher 3 playthrough. And don't even get me started on games I bought I haven't even started yet. Wow, that's quite a list you have there! I guess I'm the same, really. I have so many games I've purchased in the last three years that I have yet to even touch. They're all in storage at the moment, but I am hoping to play them beginning later this year! I'm kind of having fun with Dragon Age Inquisition again...mainly because after a few quests I noticed that I have cleared most of the maps aside from Crestwood, the Oasis, and parts of the Emerald Graves and Hissing Wastes. I'm just getting really annoyed by the dragon fights. I need shards in Emprise Du Lion...but they are guarded by a dragon that I nearly defeated twice...only to die at the end. Ugh...after this...I can finally get to the DLC. Listening to the Dragon Age Origins soundtrack is really making me miss the game again even though I just finished it again earlier this year. I guess that's why it's one of my favorite games.  |

I started Prey despite being in the middle of two other things, lol.
I find it pretty difficult, and I haven't gotten any of those promised "superpowers" yet. Seems more like Deus Ex than BioShock so far. Which is fine. Human Revolution was one of my favourite games.

At the beginning, I'd recommend you explore wherever you can, particularly security stations to make sure you get a shotgun as early as you can. If you are still finding it difficult a few hours in, there is way to get infinite materials and neuromods. |

Friday the 13th dropped for backers today. I would love to say that it's awesome, but I was only able to play one match today (and I died third.....LOL). Twice, the match ended early because of host connection. And then the servers crashed. YAY!

Just had another child with my daughter. Hoping I live long enough to ditch her, marry one of my granddaughters and sire an heir.

ES6 is years away, quite a few years. Bethesda announced Fallout 4 around 6 months from it's release because that's a smart way to market a game and keep hype at it's highest level. Sorry, you're not gonna see ES6 in 2017. |
